Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for diagnosing a reference channel of a broadband lambda probe that is used to determine an oxygen concentration in an exhaust gas, at least one sensor element having a pump cell and a Nernst cell being used; in one measurement mode, a regulated pumping current flowing through the pump cell to determine the oxygen concentration, and thus an exchange of oxygen ions between a measuring cell and the exhaust gas being achieved, and a lambda value in the measuring cell being regulated to a value of 1; the lambda value in the measuring cell being monitored through the Nernst cell, the value of the pumping current required for that purpose being dependent on the oxygen concentration and thus on the lambda value of the exhaust gas to be determined, the sensor element, together with the electrodes thereof, being connected to a control unit for controlling and analyzing the broadband lambda probe; besides the measurement mode, at least one diagnostic mode also being provided.
  • the present invention also relates to a corresponding device for implementing the inventive method.
  • Lambda probes are used in the exhaust branch of internal combustion engines, for example, for measuring the oxygen concentration of the exhaust gas, in order to control the preparation of the fuel-air mixture of the internal combustion engine. They utilize the property of a solid electrolyte composed of a zirconium dioxide ceramic, which, above a temperature of approximately 300° C., is permeable to oxygen ions. Platinum electrodes are mounted on at least two sides of the solid electrolyte. If one of the sides is exposed to an exhaust gas having decreased partial oxygen pressure, and the other side to a reference gas, for example air, oxygen ions diffuse through the solid electrolyte.
  • a reference gas for example air
  • the lambda value represents the existing air-fuel ratio relative to a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio.
  • Oxygen ions can be pumped through the solid electrolyte in response to application of an external voltage to the electrodes.
  • This property is utilized in what are commonly known as broadband lambda probes to determine the lambda value within a broad range from lean to rich exhaust gas.
  • an electrode the external pump electrode
  • the second electrode faces the exhaust gas.
  • the inner pump electrode the second electrode communicates via a diffusion barrier with the exhaust gas.
  • the second electrode can be configured in a measuring cell in the solid electrolyte that communicates with the exhaust gas through a diffusion channel and the diffusion barrier.
  • both electrodes are disposed on the side of the solid electrolyte facing the exhaust gas, the inner pump electrode being covered by an applied diffusion barrier layer.
  • the outer pump electrode, the inner pump electrode and the solid electrolyte disposed therebetween form what it commonly known as a pump cell.
  • oxygen ions are transported from the inner pump electrode to the outer pump electrode. If the voltage is high enough, a limiting current is reached that is determined by the oxygen diffusion through the diffusion barrier.
  • the oxygen diffusion, and thus the limiting current measured to determine the lambda value are directly dependent on the partial oxygen pressure in the exhaust gas, as well as on the diffusion properties of the diffusion barrier.
  • the known diffusion properties of the diffusion barrier make it possible for the lambda of the exhaust gas to be determined from the limiting current.
  • Another structure known as a two-cell broadband lambda probe is formed from a combination of a pump cell and a concentration cell.
  • the outer pump electrode faces the exhaust gas, and the inner pump electrode is configured in a measuring cell that communicates with the exhaust gas through the diffusion barrier.
  • a first electrode of the concentration cell referred to as measuring cell, is located in the measuring cell.
  • a reference electrode is mounted on the solid electrolyte in a separate reference channel. The reference channel is filled through an external opening with a reference gas having a defined oxygen concentration, preferably with air.
  • the pump cell pumps oxygen ions in or out to adjust the lambda value in the measuring cell to a lambda of preferably 1.
  • the pumping current required for that purpose is dependent on the oxygen quantity diffusing through the diffusion barrier into the measuring cell, and thus on the lambda of the exhaust gas, and the diffusion properties of the diffusion barrier.
  • the lambda of the exhaust gas can be determined from the pumping current.
  • the diffusion properties of the diffusion barriers are subject to a substantial manufacturing variance. Therefore, the individual diffusion properties must be taken into account during analysis of the broadband lambda probe signals.
  • German Published Patent Application No. 10 2008 002 734 A1 describes an example of a broadband lambda probe.
  • German Published Patent Application No. 10 2010 000 663 A1 discusses devices used as evaluation and control units for operating a broadband lambda probe.
  • the fundamental idea, the structure and the basic function of the control unit described in this publication essentially correspond to the evaluation and control unit discussed in German Published Patent Application No. 10 2008 001 697 A1 of the Applicant.
  • the control unit is designed as an ASIC and is known by the name CJ 125 or CJ 135 (see Product Information of the Applicant entitled “CJ135—Lambda Probe Interface IC”).
  • German Published Patent Application No. 10 2010 039 188 A1 describes a method for sensing at least one property of a gas in a measuring cell, in particular for identifying a component of the gas.
  • the method provides for using at least one sensor element having at least one cell.
  • the cell has at least one first electrode, at least one second electrode, and at least one solid electrolyte through which the first electrode and the second electrode communicate with one another.
  • the first electrode is able to receive gas from the measuring cell.
  • the second electrode communicates with at least one reference gas cell that is adapted for storing a volume of a component of the gas.
  • the method encompasses at least two operating modes:
  • an object of the present invention to provide a method which will make it possible for a simple and rapid diagnosis of the air reference described above to be implemented by broadband lambda probes.
  • the object of the present invention is achieved in that the pumping-current control circuit is switched over during the diagnostic mode, and the quality of an air reference in the reference channel is diagnosed via a voltage measurement.
  • the method permits diagnosis of a faulty reference channel in the sensor element, thereby making it possible for a potentially incorrect lambda value to be avoided, and thereby enhancing the performance reliability of a lambda control for an internal combustion engine and assisting in avoiding pollutant emissions.
  • the pumping-current control circuit be modified to change the oxygen concentrations in the sensor element in a way that makes possible a comparison measurement between two sites having high oxygen concentration. If a measuring result is obtained that is to be interpreted as an erroneous reference, this may consequently result in a plurality of scenarios. On the one hand, using a consistently high reference pumping current, it may be attempted to clean the air reference and to fill the same with oxygen. On the other hand, an error entry may indicate that it is absolutely necessary to replace an analyzer probe.
  • One preferred variant of the method provides that a maximum possible negative pumping current be adjusted for the diagnosis. This permits filling of the measuring cell with oxygen ions at a pressure above atmospheric. After only a brief time (typically after only ⁇ 250 ms), this high oxygen partial pressure leads to a static state where all newly introduced oxygen ions are equalized via diffusion and flow through a diffusion barrier into the exhaust gas. Once the steady state is reached, the potential measurement mentioned at the outset may be implemented, without any changes as a function of time disturbing the same.
  • this may also be achieved by a request for a negative control voltage to be applied to the Nernst cell.
  • the diagnostic phase in which the thereby adjusting Nernst potential reaches a steady-state value, it is provided that it be analyzed; and an intact reference channel having an intact air reference is assumed if there is a Nernst potential of +50 mV to +150 mV; and a faulty air reference is assumed if, in comparison thereto, a thereby adjusting potential is lower or negative. This may be readily monitored using appropriate comparators.
  • One variant of the method provides that, in response to recognition of a fault, the request be made to connect the sensor element in order to intensively fill the reference channel with air, respectively oxygen, while the measured lambda value may be characterized as invalid in immediate temporal proximity to the diagnostic phase.
  • the sensor element may consequently be at least partially regenerated, respectively “decontaminated.”
  • the measured Nernst potential is checked for plausibility, in particular within the range from 0 to 500 mV, an especially substantial reliability of diagnosis is obtained through further measures.
  • the diagnosis method including the previously mentioned method variants thereof is preferably carried out at the beginning of the service life of a broadband lambda probe and/or at specific intervals during the lifetime thereof.
  • a use during the lifetime thereof advantageously permits recognition of aging or mechanical damage.
  • temporarily “contaminated” analyzer probes may be regenerated before the lambda signal thereof is used. This may prevent incorrect secondary faults, which are difficult to identify, in the case of functionalities that utilize the lambda signal.
  • diagnosis merely needs to be performed once during a driving cycle, in particular at the beginning or the end thereof.
  • control unit has devices for implementing the method including the previously described method variants thereof, in particular switchover devices for changing a regulation of the pumping current through the pump cell, as well as comparators for analyzing a Nernst potential across the Nernst cell.
  • the control unit may at least partially be an integral part of a higher-level engine management of an internal combustion engine.
  • the functionality may be configured to be at least partially or completely software-based, so that, in particular, an adaptation is readily accomplished.
  • control unit has a CJ 135 ASIC module, relatively little outlay is required for the practical application of the diagnosis method since this module already features corresponding, comprehensive setting options for undertaking the switchovers that must be carried out in comparison to normal operation.
  • FIG. 1 shows, in a schematic representation, a sensor element of a two-cell broadband lambda probe having a connector housing.
  • FIG. 2 shows a signal characteristic diagram for a Nernst potential and a pumping current.
  • FIG. 1 schematically shows a sensor element 10 of a planar, two-cell broadband lambda probe for determining a lambda value of an exhaust gas 18 , that has a connector housing 50 .
  • Sensor element 10 is essentially constructed from a solid electrolyte 11 . It contains a pump cell 20 , a Nernst cell 30 , and a heating element 16 .
  • Solid electrolyte 11 is shown in the representation as a homogeneous body of oxygen ion-conducting zirconium dioxide. In structure, however, it may be constituted of a plurality of solid electrolyte layers.
  • Pump cell 20 is composed of an outer pump electrode 21 and an inner pump electrode 22 configured in a measuring cell 12 .
  • Outer pump electrode 21 covered by a protective layer 23 , is exposed to exhaust gas 18 of an internal combustion engine.
  • Outer pump electrode 21 and inner pump electrode 22 are annularly configured about a diffusion channel 14 .
  • Diffusion channel 14 conveys the exhaust gas via a diffusion barrier 13 to measuring cell 12 .
  • measuring electrode 31 Located on the side of measuring cell 12 opposite inner pump electrode 22 is a measuring electrode 31 . Together with a reference electrode 32 located in a reference channel 15 and solid electrolyte 11 disposed therebetween, measuring electrode 31 forms Nernst cell 30 or the concentration cell.
  • Reference channel 15 is filled with an air-permeable material and is open to the ambient air as reference gas. In the case of a pumped reference, reference channel 15 may also be completely or substantially closed and, for example, be filled with zirconium dioxide. Reference channel 15 represents an air reference or also an oxygen reference.
  • Heating element 16 is electrically isolated from solid electrolyte 11 by an insulation material 17 .
  • Outer pump electrode 21 is linked via a connection APE 40 to connector housing 50 .
  • Inner pump electrode 22 and measuring electrode 31 are connected in parallel and are coupled via a shared connection IPN 41 to connector housing 50 .
  • Reference electrode 32 is coupled via a connection RE 42 , and heating element 16 via a first heating connection 43 and a second heating connection 44 to connector housing 50 .
  • the electrodes i.e., inner and outer pump electrode 21 , 22 , reference electrode 32 and measuring electrode 31 are manufactured from platinum.
  • Nernst cell 30 During operation of the broadband lambda probe, exhaust gas diffuses via diffusion channel 14 and diffusion barrier 13 into measuring cell 12 .
  • the lambda value in measuring cell 12 is determined by measuring the Nernst potential between measuring electrode 31 and reference electrode 32 .
  • Nernst cell 30 is regulated to a potential of 450 my during the operation using a control unit, which may be a CJ 135 ASIC, for example, as described in German Published Patent Application No. 10 2008 001 697 A1, utilizing a reference pumping current, so that measuring cell 12 (lambda 1 cavity) is to be regarded as essentially oxygen-free within the lambda probe.
  • a control unit which may be a CJ 135 ASIC, for example, as described in German Published Patent Application No. 10 2008 001 697 A1, utilizing a reference pumping current, so that measuring cell 12 (lambda 1 cavity) is to be regarded as essentially oxygen-free within the lambda probe.
  • the lambda value in measuring cell 12 is regulated to a value of 1.
  • the lambda value in measuring cell 12 is monitored in the process by Nernst cell 30 .
  • the value of the pumping current required for that purpose is dependent on the oxygen concentration and thus on the lambda value of the exhaust gas to be determined, as well as on the diffusion properties of diffusion barrier 13 .
  • An essential condition for the functioning of the design is that a chamber having a very high oxygen concentration, the air reference, be made available by the reference pumping current mentioned above.
  • the control unit (for example, CJ 135 ASIC) may be induced in the diagnosis time period to adjust a maximum negative pumping current 102 (see FIG. 2 ) that fills measuring cell 12 (lambda 1 cavity) with oxygen ions at a pressure above atmospheric. This may be on the order of ⁇ 10 mA to ⁇ 15 mA, for example, in this phase. This may be accomplished via a request for a negative control voltage at Nernst cell 30 or by requesting the pumping current operation set in the control unit.
  • the oxygen pressure above atmospheric described above leads after a brief time to a static state where all newly introduced oxygen ions are equalized via diffusion and flow through diffusion barrier 13 into exhaust gas 18 .
  • FIG. 2 shows a signal characteristic diagram 100 for a Nernst potential curve 104 and a pumping current curve 105 , the abscissa indicating time 103 and the ordinate the level of Nernst potential 101 and of pumping current 102 .
  • a new static state is reached at a first slope 106 within approximately 250 ms in accordance with the measure described above.
  • a Nernst potential 101 is generated that is within the range of approximately +100 mV, since the partial oxygen pressure in the air reference is even higher than in measuring cell 12 that is now filled with oxygen. This is near +450 mV during normal operation.
  • a faulty air reference may be assumed, and, in the case that this should actually be functional, an analyzer probe error is recognized, or a reaction for intensive filling of the air reference is requested, while the lambda signal is to be regarded as invalid.
  • Nernst potential curve 104 As shown by a second slope 107 in Nernst potential curve 104 , respectively in pumping current curve 105 , it takes only approximately 200 ms to switch back into normal operation until pumping current 102 again indicates the correct value, and Nernst potential 101 is again adjusted to and maintained at a value of 450 mV.
  • the duration of a diagnosis cycle resides within the range of approximately one second and less (typically ⁇ 500 ms). There is no need to perform the diagnosis more frequently than once per driving cycle.
